How to take the Prometric exam from the Philippines
- Pick the regulator and read its page: DHA, SCFHS, Qatar, OMSB, DOH, MOHAP or Kuwait.
- Apply on the regulator's own system: Sheryan for DHA, Mumaris+ for SCFHS, DHP for Qatar, TAMM for DOH, the MOHAP service for MOHAP.
- Get your eligibility ID or permit. Without it you cannot book.
- Book your date with the test provider and pay the fee.
- On the day, bring the passport you used to apply. For DHA the name must match Sheryan.
Each route is set out in how to book the Prometric exam.
Where are the test centres?
We do not list cities, because we could not confirm from the regulator documents which centres offer which exam. Do not trust a social media post or an agent. Check the seat search on the Prometric or Pearson VUE site after your eligibility ID arrives. The exam pages are here: Prometric DHA, Prometric SCFHS, Prometric Qatar and Pearson VUE DOH. OMSB says its exams run at its Muscat centre and at Pearson VUE centres worldwide.
If a centre near you is full, check other dates. SCFHS runs test windows and says you cannot book more than three months ahead.
Requirements for Filipino nurses
The rules come from the regulator. These are the ones we confirmed for a Registered Nurse:
- DHA: a bachelor's degree in nursing of at least 3 years and a valid BLS certificate. No experience is required, subject to the discontinuity-of-practice rules.
- SCFHS: a recognised primary degree (BSN or equivalent). No years of experience are required to sit the exam.
- Qatar: a 4-year bachelor's degree, or a 3-year diploma, with 2 years post-registration. Online or distance programmes are not accepted.
- Oman: a bachelor's degree in nursing from a recognised college for the BSN paper.
- Kuwait: eligibility is not confirmed from a regulator source.
The UAE exams are in English. Kuwait and SCFHS language rules are not confirmed. Source checking for the UAE, for example by DataFlow in MOHAP, is a separate step handled by the regulator's process.
